Analyst and commentator Jakob Pimp Winneche shared his opinion on possible roster changes for participants of IEM Cologne Major 2026 after failing to reach the playoffs.
According to him, regardless of the results, the rosters of FUT Esports, Legacy, Team Spirit, Team Vitality, Team Falcons, B8, 9z Team, and Monte will remain unchanged.
Due to the failure, NAVI (depending on the market), PARIVISION, G2 Esports, Aurora Gaming, and FURIA Esports may make changes. Winneche did not comment on BetBoom Team – the team is already playing with a substitute. Additionally, MOUZ will definitely change their roster.
On June 11, 2026, the first day of the third stage of IEM Cologne Major 2026 for CS2 began. The first round matches are held in a best-of-3 format, with none of the participants being eliminated from the major immediately.
IEM Cologne Major 2026 is taking place in Germany from June 2 to June 21, 2026, in a LAN format, with the final stage hosted at Lanxess Arena in Cologne.
Let us remind you that according to the results of Stage 2, 16 teams advanced to Stage 3.
